December 15th:

Quote

Current Under-21s Manager Simon Rusk will take charge of the team on an interim basis until we announce a permanent replacement.

April 7th: 

Quote

In the meantime, Simon Rusk has agreed to take charge of the team as Interim Manager for the remaining seven fixtures of this season and will be assisted by Adam Lallana.

 

Rickie Lambert had an interesting anecdote during the Sports Hour on Radio Solent. Said the wins started coming under Adkins when the players specifically ignored a specific aspect of Adkins' tactics. Said that Lallana was a powerful voice who knew his mind and that it was likely in the remaining games that we'll see the players who have the workrate that he sees acceptable.

Found it interesting that he was specifically included in the announcement this time, compared to December and think it could be a very different 7 games with Lallana's involvement.

Lallana needs to come out and explain how he appeared on the frontpage of the Sun newspaper in 2013

That should give him a squad of about three players to pick from.

I suspect Lambert is talking crap as we won Adkins third game in charge and he won 10 of the first 16 with 3 draws and 3 losses. I highly doubt the players started ignoring him after 2 games.

Specifically in the Premier League season, he was taking about.

Just as Rofe was in charge of the cones, I expect Lallana will be in charge of handing out the Alice bands.

Yeah I really wouldn’t trust a word Lambert says anymore. How’s his talking to water going? 

It's saying "New Nivea Water. More moisturising than the best nature can provide! Why not talk to our salesman about it, and coaching opportunities?"

Lallana will be a top coach in my opinion .

 

yes he reminds me of a young frank lampard - if he's half the coach Frank is he will be some coach. We are lucky to have him on the bus

Isn't that dangerous? Carrying a coach by bus?

Fair play to Lallana , he must have taken a large pay cut to take on the new roll . Hats off to him , I didn’t know he was so dedicated .

No need for a pay cut, he is still a registered player until 30th June.

What are you saying ? 
Is he an assistant or a player ? 
surely can’t be an assistant on ‘ players  contract ‘ . That would make him one of the best paid coaches/assistance in the league right

A player/assistant manager duel role until his contract expires on 30th June 2025. The club would just be paying what they already agreed to pay him. There isn't that many weeks left on it.

If he remains at the club beyond the summer as a coach that would be the point for a big reduction in wages from what he is currently on.

I doubt we'll see him play much, if at all. Perhaps final game of the season he'll have a cameo as a final goodbye.

He will get injured and have to come off.

Yep, when I think 'Adam Lallana' I think 'workrate'. 

Getting up and down, running all day, putting his body on the line, getting his foot in, shrugging off injuries and putting the team above everything. That's Lallana alright. 

in the 357 minutes he's spent on the pitch helping us this season, of all the things I've most most admired about Adam - and what a guy he is - I think top of the pile must be his his amazing engine and the way he busts a gut. You can tell he just bleeds for the Saints cause.

This is an interesting headline from the Echo, given Lallana's past. 

"SAINTS midfielder Mateus Fernandes has revealed Adam Lallana's advice, which could help him play for the biggest clubs in England."

Can anyone with a subscription share the full article?

I suspect there are similar posts to this at the time he re-signed.

Retired as a player...set to be confirmed as part of the coaching setup?

Despite some opinions based on how he left it is clear that a.) He knows ball and has worked under some top managers and b.) Players respect him and his experience

Dont particularly like him as a bloke as always seemed a bit of snivelling litte drip but had a very good career, classy player, sort of player i enjoy watching in an era where speed and power are priortised over skill. Bit of a shame be came back tbh as his first stint with us he was class, the way he left put a cloud over especially as no one would have blamed him for moving on. Still

Agree with that. The best you can say is you can't really blame him for last year. I wonder if he ever regrets the manner that he left last time as he could have been really highly thought of here had he done things in the right way.

He apologised for his behaviour when he wanted to leave us for Liverpool but words are cheap a decade on. Innocence of youth, arrogance, or selfishness?

The right thing to say when you're returning to the club but I bet he wished he had done things a bit differently. He could be remembered in the same way as some of our other greats.

Mainly the former I’d say and some bad advice. A decade on, I’m not sure why people are still so exorcised about it. Time to move on. The club clearly think he has something to offer, and that’s fine with me. Good luck to him. And I hope his lad is as good as he was!

How was that the front page story, can't believe people actually pay 40p to pick up and read that shite.

I'm more interested in the article on the left. George Osborne looks like he's doing a great job to have us overtaking Germany's economy by 2030.

Fast forward to the end of 2024 and, er, we've had to reset the clock for some reason and you can fucking forget about overtaking Germany but we'll narrow the gap to them if we can carry on this way for another 15 years.

Lallana has just been confirmed as first team coach under Still and Trollope, with Ruben Martinez joining as keeper coach. Rusk, Thornton etc shipped out.

Lallana's reward its been said for 'things related to Nicole Cortese' and was set up by David Bick.
